Scotland Yard given permission to question 8 key suspects.

[Mr Gray]

I'd have thought a series of unannounced dawn raids would be a better idea, but then I'm not a policeman.

I don't think I'm cut out for it, not with those kind of hairbrained ideas.

perhaps if ILORS were not involved they could have done that

Did I miss something and the ILORS require announcing it to the general public?  >@@(*&)

[Silkywhiskers]

Espeially that the suspect are supposedly the professional criminalists. For them obtaining fake documents and vanishing somewhere in the world should be a piece of cake. So why to announce that the police wants them? To make their escape easier?

They left town weeks ago...all 38 of them...?

The 3 burglars story has being doing the rounds for several weeks now. Perhaps the gentlemen in question are presently incarcerated & unable to do a runner.

As previously posted.
Who are we to question the methodology of the Met?

All the evidence points toward a trio of drug dealing burglars & 5 ex ocean club employees having squeezed into 5a & murdered Maddie.

They must already be in custody right now, because SY wouldn't just do a silly thing like warn them via mass media that they are onto them now would they.

Scotland Yard have stated frequently that they refuse to give an ongoing commentary. 

This is because they do not wish to fall foul of Portuguese secrecy laws. 

Portuguese TV and press do not seem to be employing the same restraint.

Oh I see, so it's the PJ who have given the burglars a heads up.

It all makes sense now, thanks.

At least one individual did.  The question is was he ill or was he a 'person of interest'?

[Mr Moderator]

Detectives investigating the disappearance of Madeleine McCann have been granted permission to question eight key suspects.

Police identified the local men after they were traced from phone records linking them to Praia da Luz on the night the missing youngster was last seen alive.

The suspects, three of whom are convicted drug dealers, are believed to have been former employees at the Ocean Club resort.

Analysis of phone data suggests they were in close contact with each other in the hours that followed Madeleine's abduction.

The title '...8 key suspects' might have more than one significant meaning.

Wasn't it the media that invented "key suspects" and "imminent arrests"?

There are people that the police would like to interview. They are persons of interest in a generic sense. For all anyone knows, some could be a granny or a child at the time who may simply have some information to offer.

Press reports indicate that SY have found 3 of these peeps communicated with each other by phone both before and after the alarm. For two short periods that night there is in the files complete traffic of communication between all mobiles where both are using a PDL mast. By combining the two sets of data, one in table form, the other in diagram form, it is possible using only the published periods to find an interconnected group of 3 mobiles.
